Basics of Catia V5

Terminology in CATIA V5




The Picture is showing the Outlook of CATIA V5 software. Here we will follow some terminology
The top most bar is called as title bar and the one next to it is called as menu bar which is having all the menus like file,edit,view etc.,

In the left side top corner we are having one option it is called as Product tree. see the picture below



The work we are Doing to develope the product will be saved in product tree only. Product tree allows us to modify and Operate the individual features of product at any point of time.

The Icon appearing at right top corner is called as COMPASS. see the picture below


We can use the compass for Panning(moving object along x,y,z axes and in planes) and rotating the 3D object. We can use this compass to recognize the current working plane also.

The Blank area appearing at right side bottom corner is called as Command line. We can work in catia using two methods.

1)Graphic user interface method: picking options directly from the toolbar using the mouse clicks

2)Command line Method: Invoking the options using the commands. we will invoke the options by typing the command of particular option in command line. remember commands is pretty easier one. just add "C:" before the name of option.
eg: if want to invoke the helix option using command line just enter "C:Helix" in command line and press enter.
